Taking magnesium gummies on a trip? Melt risk & TSA?

Oh, I feel you! I'm a mom on the go, and I've taken gummies on flights many times. TSA doesn't care—they're not liquids, but I always keep them in the original labeled container just in case. As for melting, I've had them get soft in hot car, but they usually hold shape if you keep them in a cooler or insulated bag. But honestly, a little squish is fine, still work. I'd just put them in a ziplock and maybe freeze them before you leave if you're worried? Not sure if freezing ruins them, but prob ok.

From a nature photographer's perspective: I've carried gummies on many backpacking trips. They can melt if left in direct sun. But the key is to store them in a cool, dry place, like inside your sleeping bag or a shaded part of your pack. I also double-bag them in a Ziploc to avoid any residue from other gear. TSA is fine—I've never had an issue. Just make sure they look like food, not drugs, lol.

Keto guy here—just want to point out that many gummies have sugar, but magnesium gummies are usually okay if you're keto. To answer: I've traveled with them and they are pretty stable. I've thrown them in my carry-on and checked luggage, no melting issues. But if you're going somewhere really hot (like desert), they might soften. Put them in a small cooler with an ice pack if you're driving. On a plane, the cargo hold is cool, but carry-on might get warm—still fine. I'd keep them in a pill organizer or original container to avoid squish. And yes, TSA might ask, but just say 'supplements.'

Yoga instructor here, so I'm all about natural remedies. I'd say: take only what you need in a small baggie, and keep them in your carry-on so they don't get lost. For melt risk, I've never had them turn to liquid, but they can get sticky. A cool pack in your backpack works. Also, if you're hiking, you might not need as many because you'll be active. But listen to your body—magnesium is great for preventing cramps. Have a great trip! Namaste.
